En la tina
En la tina, se dio cuenta en la tina Con su cuerpo desnudo desprotegido bajo el agua Bajo las luces que alumbraban la realidad Aquella realidad que tanto le pesaba Que tanto le dolía Que tanto le temía Y quiso sumergirse Dejar de escuchar su lógica Su conciencia Su corazón que a pesar de…

Soy Mujer y no perfecta
Me encanta no serlo y saber que nadie lo es, aunque traten de demostrar lo contrario. Soy Mujer. Bella. Sí, dije bella, aunque suene como suene Hay tantas veces que lo escuchamos de todo el mundo, pero cuando te lo dices a ti misma, es distinto… Refrescante.
